The episode articles here have sections for Story notes, references and continuity.  But there is quite a lot of overlap between those, and I have noticed on some pages that the same note is placed twice in two different sections.  So I wanted to ask what sort of things should go in each of them, and see if we can take out one of the sections if it can be covered by the others.  [[User:Jack's the man|Jack's]] [[User talk:Jack's the man|the]] [[Special:Contributions/Jack's the man|man]] - 15:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

:*References is in-universe, references made within the stories.
:*Continuity is the interconnectedness of stories, links between them etc.
:*Story notes are behind the scenes notes, working titles, other stuff like that. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

The episode articles here have sections for Story notes, references and continuity. But there is quite a lot of overlap between those, and I have noticed on some pages that the same note is placed twice in two different sections. So I wanted to ask what sort of things should go in each of them, and see if we can take out one of the sections if it can be covered by the others. Jack's the man - 15:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Righty, as I've just recently finished going through making sure all the classic stories ad hear to the manual of style (see Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries)
  • References is in-universe, references made within the stories.
  • Continuity is the interconnectedness of stories, links between them etc.
  • Story notes are behind the scenes notes, working titles, other stuff like that. --Tangerineduel 15:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
